adding bank account to paypal without raising a flag
 

Hi guys

Im uk based.
Love the forum its been an immense help, im just a small seller who got booted of ebay over a 2 vero's , so a family member let me use their fairly new ebay account and paypal.

This family member is quite sick and not around for me to pester them to withdraw the money from their paypal and send it to my bank, so I have to now devise a plan to get my money thats now racked up to a few hundred pounds.

I tried adding an Esaver account thats never been used before on my banned account, thats not working keep getting 'we are experiencing technical difficultys try again later' I tried 24 hours later still same message.

Is it because its an Esaver? is it because I am on an IP in sweden?

I have another account that is regular bank account i could use ,but i wanted to keep santander esaver one as the names never get rejected on there if they don't match (seemingly)

The other idea I had was creating a quick website and uploading some bulk stock for 100 pounds per pallet or something and order it from my stealth paypal and send the money to my clean bank account.

BTW i don't launder money at all i declare all my earnings and im a legit business but ebay have forced me to be undercover! :spy:

Going forward Im going to make more stealth accounts but need to get my money out of this one without raising suspicion and my ebay shop is really starting to take off, Ive been on there 2 months as a stealthy ....problem free so far thankgod.

Bit of a contradiction is it not?

The error you are getting is a common one. The best way to resolve is to wait a few days and try again. The alternative is to phone up and get the account added manually.

thanks, I will wait a few more days hopefully it will be ok.....Yes I live in the UK but I use a IP in sweden when I log in paypal or ebay, obviously logging in with my own banned IP is not an option and It does worry me that this will raise flags as well, as soon as I can i will find a uk ip.

this is the error ....
he PayPal server is currently experiencing some difficulties. Please try again later or contact Customer Service.

Logging in with an IP from Sweden raises even more flags.

When you restart your router does it give you a new IP? If not, go and get a mobile broadband setup like a MIFI or wireless broadband stick.

You really need to address this asap as your plan is completely flawed.

Sorry if I am out of topic or better I am not answering your original question but, since it is just a matter of a few hunderd dollars, if you have a "receiving" address, why don't you just buy something you need with that money or, better, why don't you buy gold or silver that can be easily turned again into money again?
Just my thought, hope it could help.

Your right its better to get on UK IP , I found ways to do that now with local wifi in my supermarket.

And also my smart phone, although i opened my banned ebay on it before and logged into my black listed paypal address on it, I figure if I clear the cookies and log in from different IP that phone should be ok going forward?

Im going to try resetting my router see if I get a new IP I very much doubt thats the case i read its only US routers that do that ....but worth a shot!

thanks so much appreciate the advice

Hi, I was tempted to invoice from my blacklisted paypal to the clean one to grab some cash as a one off untill I find a safer alternative , but was worried it was to chancey .
Not sure about buying stuff as it will get sent to an address far from me but always worth remembering thats a great tip thank you !
